Serological Dipstick Assay Developed for Melioidosis

The Gram-negative environmental pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei, causes the severe disease melioidosis. It is highly endemic in southeast Asia and northern Australia, but recent studies suggest that it is also present in many other parts of the world where it is severely underreported. More...

Lipocalin 2 Proposed as Biomarker for Bacterial Meningitis

Central nervous system (CNS) infections cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Common CNS infections include bacterial meningitis (BM) other than tuberculosis, viral encephalitis, tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and cryptococcal meningitis, but there are more than 100 documented infectious causes of CNS infections.
